Wearable Monitoring Systems

Health monitoring plays a vital role to overcome the health issues of the patients. According to research, approximately 2000 people die due to carelessness of monitoring their health. Wearable monitoring systems record the activities of daily life. A 24-hour wearable monitoring system was developed and changes were identified. This project is designed for helping the soldiers to maintain their health conditions and to identify their health issues at war's end. Different health parameters are monitored using sensors, and the data are transmitted through GSM to the receiver, and the received data are analyzed using convolutional neural networks, which is performed in cloud IoT. If any abnormalities are found during the analyzing process, the message is sent to military personnel and the doctor at the camp so that they could take necessary actions to recover the ill soldier from the war field and provide emergency assistance on time. The location of the soldier is also shared using the input from GPS modem in the smart jacket.

Objective: To describe key practical knowledge and skill components required for clinicians involved with the assessment of military personnel and veterans. Conclusions: Assessment of military and veterans’ mental health issues involves a tailored history-taking process that includes specific aspects of service, transition and reporting requirements. Recommendations for the detailed assessment of military personnel and veterans are provided. Comorbid conditions, chronic pain and the needs of both women and older veterans are also discussed.

Combat Readiness

The article is devoted to the development and verification of a model for psychodiagnostic forecasting of readiness of military personnel of information and technical units of the Russian aerospace forces to perform combat duty. The longitudinal study used standardized test tools (the method "Motivational profile of the individual", the personal questionnaire "Big five", the method of diagnosing the tendency to deviate behavior, the multi-level personal questionnaire" Adaptability", the method of studying the features of thinking), a questionnaire and expert assessment. Participants were 119 experts and 255 military personnel serving under a contract. The main difference in subgroups of military personnel of various degrees of readiness for combat duty was the presence of purposefulness and awareness of activity. In the regression model of predicting military readiness, the success of activity is associated with the presence of adaptive abilities, consciousness and intellectual potential. Combat readiness is reduced due to the soldier's tendency to aggression and violence, power and recognition, as well as utilitarian motivation. The results of the research allow us to improve the procedure for professional psychological selection of candidates for military service under a contract and preventative work with personnel, optimize training and combat training of military personnel, and ultimately increase the combat readiness of units and formations of constant readiness.

<p><strong>Objectives.</strong> The study involved Nigerian soldiers engaged in peacekeeping missions in Liberia and Yugoslavia. Using case illustrations, the study sought to describe patterns of homicidal violence among soldiers from the same country or soldiers from allied forces, and to suggest possible reasons for the attacks.<strong> </strong></p><p><strong>Design and setting.</strong> Nigeria was actively involved in peacekeeping missions in Liberia between 1990 and 1996. During this period, intentional homicidal attacks occurred among the Nigerian military personnel. Post- homicidal interviews conducted among the perpetrators were combined with evidence obtained at military courts to produce the case studies.</p><p><strong>Subjects.</strong> Six Nigerian military personnel who attacked other Nigerians or soldiers from allied forces, with homicidal intent.</p><p><strong>Results.</strong> Possible predisposing and precipitating factors for these attacks were highlighted. The possibility of recognising these factors before embarking on overseas missions was discussed, so that preventive measures could be instituted as far as possible. Finally, medico-legal implications of homicide in the military were discussed.</p><p><strong>Conclusions.</strong> A certain degree of pre-combat selection is essential to exclude soldiers with definite severe psychopathology. A clearly defined length of duty in the mission areas and adequate communication with home could reduce maladjustment. Health personnel deployed to mission areas should be very conversant with mental health issues so that early recognition of psychological maladjustment is possible.</p>

Mobility Data

Recent advancements in data science technologies have allowed researchers to utilize large-scale records of human mobility to study various topics from city growth models to tracing outbreaks and analyzing the labor market. In this paper, after introducing recent studies on human mobility using transportation data, we briefly review the existing studies by applying large-scale human mobility data to three different topics: epidemics, economics, and science of science. As the early attempts of interdisciplinary studies, these studies reveal how human mobility records can help us solve significant social, economic, and public health issues in our era.

The Impact

In this paper, I will describe the potential contributions of interdisciplinary studies combining speech-language pathology and rehabilitation counseling in the preparation of future speech-language pathologists (SLPs). I will provide a brief introduction to the field of rehabilitation counseling and consider it from an SLP’s perspective. Next, I will describe some of my own personal experiences as they pertain to the intersecting cultures of work and disability and how these experiences influenced my practice as a master’s level SLP eventually leading to my decision to pursue a doctoral degree in rehabilitation counseling. I will describe the impact of this line of interdisciplinary study on my research and teaching. Finally, I will present some arguments about why concepts relevant to rehabilitation counseling are important to the mindset of SLPs.
